Akron Schools continued a special tradition on November 11 with our annual Veterans Day program at the Akron Fieldhouse. We were honored to welcome more than a dozen veterans and thank them in person for their service.
Students helped make the day special, from the posters and decorations created by first, third, and fifth graders to the music, readings, and tributes shared during the program. The Washington County VFW and American Legion presented the colors, and guest speaker Heather Weis joined us for the ceremony. Students also honored those who never made it home with a POW/MIA tribute, a Missing Man Table presentation, and the playing of “Taps.”
Our cafeteria staff prepared a full turkey dinner and dessert for the veterans who could join us. Thank you to Mrs. Dreitz for organizing the program and to all the students, staff, and community members who helped bring it together. Most of all, thank you to the veterans in our community and in our lives. We’re grateful for your service and for the sacrifices you and your families have made.
Our Student Council (STUCO) students recently had the opportunity to attend a student leadership convening hosted by BOCES. Through this experience, students collaborated with peers from other school districts, shared ideas, and explored ways to strengthen their high school communities by building unity, hope, and purpose.
Thanks to BOCES, our school district has been awarded funding to support the development and implementation of a student-led initiative focused on strengthening our high school community. Students returned with new ideas, inspiration, and a vision for creating a more connected and inclusive school environment.
We are excited to see our students take the lead, turn their ideas into action, and make a positive impact on our school community!
Congratulations to the Akron Rams football team and coaches on a great season! Saturday’s playoff game brought the season to a close, and there’s plenty to be proud of. You earned your spot in the playoffs, played hard for one another, and gave our community a lot to cheer for this fall.
Thank you for making Friday nights something to look forward to. We’re proud of you, Rams!
